There are about 100,000 strands of hair on your scalp and it is considered very normal to lose 50 to 100 strands a day. But when you start losing more than that, it’s time for you to take some action so it doesn’t progress to baldness or bald spots. Many readily available ingredients can be used to treat hair loss at home.

Here are the top 10 home remedies for hair loss.

1. Hair Oil Massage

The first step that you can take to reduce hair loss is to massage your scalp with appropriate hair oil. Proper hair and scalp massage will increase blood flow to the hair follicles, condition the scalp, and enhance the strength of your hair’s roots. It will also promote relaxation and reduce feelings of stress.

You can use hair oils like coconut or almond oil, olive oil, castor oil, amla oil, or others. Add a few drops of rosemary essential oil to the base oil for better and faster results. Other types of oil that you can use are emu oil, argan oil, and wheat germ oil.

Massage any of the hair oils mentioned above onto your hair and scalp by applying light pressure with your fingertips.

Do this at least once a week.

2. Indian Gooseberry

For natural and fast hair growth, you can use Indian gooseberry, also known as amla. Indian gooseberry is rich in vitamin C, of which a deficiency in the body can cause hair loss.

The anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, antibacterial, and the exfoliating properties present in Indian gooseberry can help maintain a healthy scalp and promote hair growth.

Mix one tablespoon each of Indian gooseberry or amla pulp and lemon juice.

3. Fenugreek

Fenugreek, also known as methi, is highly effective in treating hair loss. Fenugreek seeds contain hormone antecedents that enhance hair growth and help rebuild hair follicles. They also contain proteins and nicotinic acid that stimulate hair growth.

Soak one cup of fenugreek seeds in water overnight.

In the morning, grind them to make a paste.

Apply the paste to your hair and cover with a shower cap. After about 40 minutes, rinse your hair.

4. Onion Juice

The antibacterial properties in onion juice also help kill germs and parasites, and treat scalp infections that can cause hair loss.

In a 2002 study published in the Journal of Dermatology, almost 74 percent of the study participants who applied onion juice on the scalp experienced significant hair regrowth.

Extract the juice of one onion by grating it and then strain it. Apply the juice directly onto the scalp. Leave it on for about 30 minutes, and then wash it off. Finally, shampoo your hair.

Mix together three tablespoons of onion juice and two tablespoons of aloe vera gel. You can also add one tablespoon of olive oil. Apply this mixture onto your scalp and leave it on for at least 30 minutes before rinsing it off and shampooing your hair.

Repeat either of these remedies two or three times a week for several weeks.

5. Aloe Vera

Aloe vera contains enzymes that directly promote healthy hair growth. Also, its alkalizing properties can help bring the scalp and hair’s pH to a more desirable level, which can greatly promote hair growth.

Regular use can also relieve scalp itching, reduce scalp redness and inflammation, add strength and luster to hair, and alleviate dandruff. Both aloe vera gel and juice will work.

Apply aloe vera gel or juice onto the scalp.

Leave it on for a few hours and then wash it off with lukewarm water.

Repeat the process three to four times a week.

You can also consume one tablespoon of aloe vera juice daily on an empty stomach to enjoy better hair growth.

6. Licorice Root

Licorice root is another herb that prevents hair loss and further damage to the hair.

The mollifying properties of licorice roots open the pores, soothe the scalp and help get rid of irritations like dry flakes. This remedy is good for dandruff, hair loss and baldness.

Add one tablespoon of ground licorice root to one cup milk with a quarter teaspoon saffron. Mix it thoroughly.

Apply the paste on bald patches at bedtime and leave it on overnight.

In the morning, wash your hair.

Follow this remedy once or twice a week.

You can also take licorice internally in the form of licorice tea three times a day.

firstly go for an ultrasound to check if u still have the pco or not. if its cured then discontinue the medicine. they are very harmful for your body. u sud go for homeopathic for the treatment of pco. and for hair loss nothing much can be done. but u can enhance its growth by washing ur hair with amla, ritha and shikakai powder. and after few months u will see new hair coming.

Use natural henna powder with thick boiled plain tea dicotion.. U can mix 1/2 lemon juice or 1 tbspn apple cider vinegar. Mix into a paste and leave over night covered n wrapped in the fridge. Next day 10 minutes before application, wisk in one egg white. Leave on hair for 6-8 hrs. Do it on sunny day, as it is cooling. Wrap ur head with shower cap.

I would like ad mine here. I usually apply 1tbs yogurt, 1tbs mayonnaise, 1tbs honey, 1 egg and 1 slice of lemon juice. I mix all these ingredients well and then apply if on my scalp, and root to tip of my hair and keep it for 40 minutes and it really works very well. Most importantly I always use mild products, at my end I think L’Oreal hair care products are much milder than other brands. I usually buy it from Order and Save.

At any rate as you know – hair loss can be brought about by a wide range of reasons! Figure out the real reason for hair loss! There are numerous reasons for loss of hair, for example, stress, poor nourishment ,prescriptions, thyroid dysfunctions, disease, contagious diseases ,hormonal issues, to specify a couple. However at any rate you can simply attempt and get genuine results. Year prior my spouse experienced hair loss as well and he began having a go at all that you can envision stopping his hair loss. The things that truly worked for him was:

1) Massage – massage is likewise helpful. Massage empowers flow. As effectively noted, great flow in the scalp keeps hair follicles dynamic. Specialists propose a couple of minutes of every day head massage by hand.

2) Vitamin A – a hostile to oxidant which advances solid generation of sebum in the scalp;

Thanks alot for providing us those important informations to stop the hair-loss problem. Nobody’s mentioned yet that Stresses are the main reason for getting your hair thiner. Reduce your stress by yogas, Drink water in a sufficient amount that will calm your stomach and keep the stomach diseases away, Ignore any bad habbit (That may effect your scalp), also apply Aloe-vera gel (Available at Markets) as reviews say from people highly prefered Aloe-Vera and the onion juice mixture and the olive oil. Make a faith and apply this mixture onto your scalp as suggested above by the author. For the rest Best of very luck !!! Always remember, “There’s NOTHING impossible.” Let me know when you do have fuller of your head with hair. God bless Everyone!!.

I take a multivitamin, silica, liquid collagen, and omega’s daily. Also, I use Wen (fig). Its important to use the fig no other Wen. I do a weekly scalp massage. I mix bragg apple cider vinegar, coconut oil, jamaican black castor oil, avocado oil, macadamia oil, neem oil, sweet almond oil and raw honey along with other essential oils. After rinsing my hair i towel dry and massage the mixture into my scalp. I put on a plastic cap and then wrap a towel around it. Leave ut on atleast 20 minutes. Hop in the shower and massage scalp again before rinsing thoroughly and washing with Wen. Be sure to use a good ketatin based leave in treatment daily and apy argan oil only on the ends.

I have struggled with my hair for a long time now. I am quickly approaching my 40s and I have bad hair quality. Recently, I have also noticed that my hair has stopped growing as it used to. A few years ago I went to the salon on a monthly basis. Now, it takes me almost two months before I even need to cut my hair! I am desperate and I really need help right now. Hair is one of the most important parts of a woman and I don’t want to give up on this one. I went to the doctors but they didn’t found anything wrong with me. The exams I took showed that I am healthy and there’s no reason for this to even happen to me. Please, I really need hair advice urgently!!!!!!!!!!!!

Brushing your hair every morning about 30 mins and evening about the same duration of time with rounded tip hair-brush, will do recondition your scalp with better blood circulations. Do not use comb, it will damage your scalp. Also take hair supplements/vitamins. Believeth or not, ladies still flirting on me, even-though I’m in my mid 40s with lots of hair. 🙂
